'Come with me if you want to live! '- T800

Awhile ago my friend Nate over at Squid Kids Ink asked me to participate in his Mini 10-doh series 2. Mini 10-doh is a collectable designer toy inspired by the shape and Nintendo Cartridge hence the name 10-DOH. Each series there are different artists who design the labels for these blind box figures. I don't even remember why I wanted to turn my 10-doh into a T-800 endoskeleton from Terminator but I did the label design and showed it to the boss. Nate was kind enough to complete my 10-doh design with a chrome finish figure and made it one of the 1/80 ultra rare blind box figure. To make my long explanation that you just read short, he shipped my 2 whole case of them along with some postcard size print of the label. Thanks alot Nate!

About Me

I'm a Vancouver based designer, illustrator and art director for animation and live action TV and movies. For the last decade I was doing visual development and art directing full time at Nerdcorps Entertainment which produced shows such as Storm Hawks, Hotwheels, Monster High, Maxsteel and Slugterra. Recently I've spearheaded the project Beatbugs at Atomic Cartoons, a CG animated show which features Beatles Music. I've been a freelance concept artist for 14 years mainly focusing on costume designs for live action entertainment. The most current projects I'm involved with are the CW DC shows Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow. I've also started at Vancouver Film School as an industry mentor for their concept art program and enjoy sharing my experience and thoughts with design students and new professionals.
